I'm sure your friends were happy to get it. Their good guns for the price. I can't think of any other rifle with the same quality's for the same price.
Cool The yard hook looks interesting. It looks like a good cutter with the curved blade. I have never owned a Taurus pistol before. What is your overall opinion of them ?
I think that hey are a great gun for there price. I have put 250 rounds through it without a problem of any kind.
I really like the yard hook it has a great feel to it and is well balanced. The blade is nice and the recurve is really good at cutting, I have not chopped anything with it yet.
I've heard about Ramanon before - I think Ted Wilson from Scrapyard is over there - he's pretty well known on the knife forums for his photography and is a big collector of foreign custom made (quality) knives.
